I'm fully with you in the trenches on this one, Matthew. FWIW: I've been fighting Spam for years, but sometimes I'm also pricelessly puzzled about the Nazi methods of some blacklists. For instance: Just today one of my colocated servers went into the SPEWS.ORG blacklist because they block the colo-facilities entire class B netblock which that server of mine happens to be in - among hundrets of others which I don't own. According to the SPEWS event ticket its just a single server there which had sent Spam (with 4 IPs on it according to NMAP) and SPEWS blocks +60K IP addresses thanks to that fact. There is absolutely no way to get out of SPEWS until the owner of the netblock shuts down the spammer and SPEWS then eventually retests the IP and updates their database. Maybe in a few weeks it then might fall out of relays.osirusoft.com - which to some degree incorporates data from SPEWS, too. That's no unique event and I've seen that happening a couple of times with different providers and different blacklists in recent years. Its not exactly fun. -- With best regards, Michael Stauber Unix/Linux Support Engineer ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
